NATA Exchange Lecture: Chronic Ankle Instability: Neuromuscular Alterations and Considerations for Management

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses their research on chronic ankle instability (CAI) and the efforts to prevent and treat it. They highlight the need for better understanding and definition of CAI and discuss the work done by the International Ankle Consortium to improve research in this area. The speaker's own research focuses on biomechanical and neuromuscular control approaches to studying CAI, including balance assessments, gait assessments, and landing and hopping tasks. They also explore the communication pathways between the brain and muscles, as well as structural changes in the brain potentially related to CAI. The speaker concludes by mentioning an ongoing clinical trial and expressing interest in collaboration with other researchers.
